My East Coast Book Release Party: Word Bookstore in Brooklyn, On October 24th!
Hello, glorious mortals!
If you’ve been living under a rock, you may have missed that a) I sold a novel, and b) that novel is coming out on September 30th. Or that I have a West Coast Release Party in San Francisco on October 11th.
But now? I have an East Coast Release Party on October 24th at 7:00 at the Word Bookstore in Brooklyn! I have not been to Word yet, but several people told me, “Awww, man, you have to see this store, it’s pretty amazing,” and so I shall. And I’ll do a reading/Q&A/signing there! (And afterwards, I’ll almost certainly go out for drinks and hang out for a bit, because this is a celebration of fourteen years of work.)
So if you’re excited about my debut novel, and you’re anywhere within driving distance, I’ll say, “Hey, come on out and see me! I’ll bring donuts – which, once you’ve read the novel, you’ll understand says something quite important about you all.”
Remember: East Coast Release Party October 24th, West Coast Release Party October 11th. I’ve allllmost got the details down for the too-critical Cleveland release party, and hopefully should have something for you by next week. Also, since it’s been suggested and within driving distance, maybe a Detroit release party for all my pals out there. But maybe that’s one too many release parties, I dunno.)
You may also ask, “Ferrett, what about a [My Neighborhood] Release Party?” And the answer is that “Ferrett has a limited amount of vacation time, and family to visit on both coasts. These Release Parties are tremendously exciting but also a net loss in cash, as there’s no way I’ll sell enough books to fund the driving trip and hotel stay to NYC – so alas, this is not so much ‘a book tour’ as ‘Ferrett thinks this would be fun to visit his Dad and throw this in.’” While I’d love to visit your home town, I don’t have that kinda money to burn.
But you can still order Flex from any number of bookstores in advance. Which would be nice. Authors live or die on preorders, so if you’re not gonna attend a release party but wanna celebrate, you can do a little dance when Flex arrives on your doorstep.
And that, my friends, is the end of today’s marketing shill! Move on. Feel joy. Walk about.
